Thanks as always team for another GREAT Friday night beer accompaniment 👍. Cool to see George is still alive and kicking....Flying 🤔... with Homey of course as well. Karen, you could be a movie director with these brilliant creations you put together for us on the outside world to watch. Take care guys. Cheers Pete' N.Zealand 👍
Looking to see if anyone caught that, Kurtis’s expertise in the machine shop extends to everything. Just so cool to watch a true jack of all trades who is the master!
On the other side of the globe it is exactly the same in reverse, video, breakfast and to the gym. Perfect morning. Except for the gym. But at my age ( 58 today) one need to stay in shape.
29:00 - When looking at that tiny tungsten-carbide tip eating up the steel, it still feels like a miracle that it doesn't wear away immediately... Awesome material, and beautifully filmed.
This job not only shows the skills of excellence that Kurtis has but also his business brain. When customers can get a replacement part on the spot and don't have to wait for a repair it leaves a great impression because no one likes down time which equates to lost revenue. Building up a stockpile of ready to go exchange parts will increase business potential due to increasing CEE reputation as not only a reliable and first class repair shop but also able to offer many replacement parts emmediately.
You're an amazing craftsman. 99.9999 percent of people on earth would look at that and say "Order a new one from Cat". Not you. You say "I can fix that. Even if it means just making one." And then you DO it. MAD RESPECT.
I hope that customer was overjoyed when he could simply swap his broken cylinder for your refurbished one and be ready to go just like that. Again, great damage analysis. Grinding off the paint to find that crack underneath is diagnostics taken to the next level. Very impressive, even if it is just another day in the workshop for you. As usual, a great weekend to everyone here! Including you, of course.
@@Uli_Krosse he has the space, he has the means, he has clients - I think it is an excellent idea, and it like investing in gold, so it not like money are lost, I guess it better than bank account.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Time to grab the parts off of the scrap pile then and rebuild. you should know what moves, and what is common to get beat the hell out of as well.
Kurtis, i can tell you are a master craftsman by the way you don't over tighten nuts ,bolts, capscrews chucks etc, i have seen other repair shop videos where the machnist/mechanic reef on nuts etc with a wrench and a length of pipe, if nuts were meant to be done up that tight wrenches would be 3 feet long those guys are absolute cowboys. Keep up the good work, regards from a Limey machinist now living in British Columbia Canada.
Just thought I'd mention how much I appreciate the explanations you give, as someone who isn't a machinist and has never operated these kinds of machinery it's very helpful 👍
3 mins in and already im impressed Kurt, your description and of the spec and damages show you know your product, also having a replacement fleet for exchange shows you are a organised company making it easier on yourself and your customer,the question is how does only one man and woman do it all lol ?
We work very hard 😅 but also very efficient as it is just the 2 of us handling everything, Kurtis gets all the jobs sorted and I get all the business stuff sorted. We love it
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Have to say, married 41 years to a wonderful lady who is the sweetest in the world. So very wonderful to see and listen to you and Kurtis (and Homeless!) and the delightful way you work together, find humor and joy, even when things go sideways. When you can work together and enjoy each other, you have a winning working wedded formula forever. Blessings!!!! So proud of you BOTH!!! (OK - an old grandpa with a soft spot for good marriages!!!)
The failure mode talks are always the best, so interesting hearing how stuff failed or why you shouldn't repair things a certain way because it'll lead to x, y, or z issues. Great video
Honestly, it is worth watching these videos just for the pleasure of listening to someone who is 100% confident about every single, tiny, intricacy of every job. It's quite a rare sound; not unlike enjoying music, oddly. I can well imagine the customers feel similarly
Yeah. Eventually we will have to ask him how many talents - welding especially - that he is proficient in. We now have to add forklift skills competitions to his list.
I got worried that you sandblasted your freshly machined surfaces, the tape blended right in. Reminds me never to doubt you Kurtis. Now you three have a great weekend!
What a commitment to customers needs on your behalf to have a rebuild barrel in shop to service your customers without lengthy delays . You have my deepest respect as a business person and true human being . I worked as a Volkswagen engine rebuild mechanic in the 70s, we kept several popular VW engines rebuilt to our specifications in stock ready to install. If our customer needed an engine rebuild and this was his only mode of transportation we would swap out his engine and he was on his way expediently
It absolutely blows my mind how throughly you know all these equipment’s, their components, the functionality and tolerances. Not only that but how to use all the machines in your shop. 🤯
Oh... plenty of shops reclaim them, what you see tossed out is the garbage results of that. You can reclaim them only so many times when your work is subpar, so when someone who actually knows what they're doing looks and finds the signs of "yeah, that's cooked" they'll toss it out. I took my dozer in for a few repairs and got some scrap tubes for less than scrap for that reason, as explained. You either do it right, like CEE does, or you'll cost your customer in a few months.
I'm a welder not a machinist and with that I'm always amazed at how the lathe cuts through those tough welds like butter and the inserts just do what they are doing without breaking ....... 🤔 Love your shop ! Thanks for posting these. 😁
Another genius metal working operation by Kurtis, brilliant as always. Picking up the old pipe with the forks was the coolest thing you've ever done on camera Kurtis !!!!!!!!
Yeah. Eventually we will have to ask him how many talents - welding especially - that he is proficient in. We now have to add forklift skills competitions to his list.
i am always impressed when parts are salvaged and remanufactured. That approach is so counter culture to the current attitude of build it cheap and just throw it away when it breaks. The best part is the customer wins, the machine shop wins and the environments wins. But the best best part is that the whole process is so meticulously done and recorded!
Good morning CEE, Kurtis your skill at finding Flaws in a piece and explaining the cause is amazing. I know you would likely hate it, but you would be a great teacher. I know your channel is already followed by many people hoping to get into machining/welding/ engineering. Thanks to Karen's skill in editing everything is easy to follow and very entertaining. Thank you both for taking us along Have a great weekend.
Hi Kurtis and Karen, Appears Homey was looking for a new toy to destroy. 🙂 Can't wait for Part 2 to see the new Sunnen honing machine in action. You both stay safe.
This video is a lovely escape from the reality of where I live. Currently, I'm watching you weld and work in shirtsleeves, while I can look out at the thermometer here and see that it's... -11°F/-24°C. For me these days, it's an honest relief to weld in awkward, cramped positions. Keeps me warm!
Thanks for yet another fantastic video - a perfect start to Friday 👍 As always, great camera work, editing and machining. What was impressive though was the forklift action tipping over and picking up the barrel on the fork (and not dropping the head flange in the scrap bin! 😃 👍). Looking forward to seeing the new honing machine in action next week. All the best from the UK, Paul
Excellent work sir! I really enjoy the deep dive on explanation of what the parts are used for (with visuals) and the in depth failure analyses you undergo, and of course…the technical execution. You’re first class, man. Enjoy the day.
I do not know why your post attract my attention but safe to say it makes my day more enjoyable. You three plus the birdlife epitomises the great Aussie family. keep the good work going. P.S I did some driving in Tom Price during some upgrades to Marandoo mine and Tom Price mine. great to see big equipment repairs. Cheer Arthur.
Great video yet again. I was holding my breath when you were cutting the trunnion weld loose and getting close to the tube bore. I have seen metal fail when it gets close like that. George is still supervising from above and I hope he doesn't leave any droppings on the machinery. Have a wonderful weekend all! jack
Great "two-for" when you were removing the trunnion mount! Thank you K, K and H, excellent work as always and very therapeutic after a very less than ordinary day.👍
I have been a long time subscriber. You are absolutely amazing at what you do. Seeing how you work and do things I would feel more comfortable using a part from you that has been reman'd opposed to OEM. You are a master at your craft. Camera woman does a phenomenal job and editing is spot on! Keep killing it!
Always good to see things being reclaimed. That trunnion looked rough at first, then brand new! Also, though I love the outtakes, I'd love to see a full-length real-time job with all the cursing left in. LOL.
The amazing work, the vastness of the shop, the pup, the woman, even wild birds are flocking, and in one flex we now know why - this man is clearly forklift certified
i agree with you on that, because if the part or parts are not up to Kurtis’ high standards, then they will be brought up to those standards well before they leave the shop
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering As a another famous Aussie YT creator says, “Uhm Yah Nah!” aka Destination F*cked. I’m a subscriber from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA and your content gives me a great look into my dad’s work life before he retired. He was a Master Tool & Die Maker. I unfortunately went into finance. 😖 Really enjoy your content mate and read the comment from another video where the Student and his class is learning a lot from your shop. 👏👏👏
Gday Kurtis and Karen, for what these cylinders done they hold up extremely well, I’d hate to think what an OEM replacement would cost, definitely need to be sitting down to get that quote, I’m keen to see the new honing machine do it’s thing, awesome video as always mate, have a great weekend, cheers
got some parts for the wife's trail Blazer I swear the price on parts have doubled in the last year .. I priced a plasma table threw a company they wanted as much for it as I paid for my 1st house over 20 years ago .. and it was only a 4 feet by 8 feet table .. home use ..
@@randytravis3998 I know what you mean about the cost of things going up, I got the latest catalog from Hare and Forbes today and my lathe has going up by almost 2k…
You're not wrong, need to be sitting down when you get any OEM prices 😂 We're looking forward to showing what the new hone can do it's definitely a fancy bit of kit after all the years using the old vertical hone.
It's that special yellow paint, it's very expensive. That said some things are very reasonable. Their batteries are good value if the size suits your 4x4. Irc coolant isn't bad either. Then again I've got a painful relationship with the LR parts department.
Impressive skills and excellent narration. As I was watching, I wondered how the descriptions could be delivered so perfectly. Then I saw the outtakes and realized you worked on that too. Great job all around.
Hi, I don't miss a single video of you! I can't wait to see new videos! About this video above, I was looking forward to seeing the sandblast, but you guys cut it out! It's very pleasant to see sandblasting at work, I really like watching restoration videos and sandblasting is a "therapy", lol. Next time, don't cut this part, please! A big hug from your fan here in Brazil.
Always informative and entertaining you two. Outstanding video editing Karen. CEE is the best start for Fridays. A small crochet hook works great for pulling out swarf in tapped holes.
. Never realized how much engineering , machining, welding , time & work are involved in cylinders, & all amazing things you repair. thanks for sharing all your knowledge with the world!!!😎
My kind of lesson. Plan to reclaim anything worthwhile, pinpoint damages and causes, superb work, video work on par, Homeless seemed a little confused or looking for yet another toy, all under the bird's eye lookout. Thank you for sharing and teaching, looking forward to part-2. Take care.
How close you get to gigantic moving/spinning parts with your tooling gives me the heebie jeebies. I know it's fine, your work holding isn't gonna move. But for some reason the danger light goes off in my brain. Great video as always.
I know you have a hate/ hate relationship ship with trains, the industry I worked in for 34 years. It’s the same ratio there, you get one opportunity for safety, choose wisely!
I like how you go about disassembling these cylinders for reclaim, in such a way that if one method fails, you didn't bet too much on option A, for option B, or C, or the very time consuming D (angle grinder) to work. Many times have I been at shops where workers, regardless what's being reclaimed, repaired, or made, put everything on one throw of the dice, and not to their benefit. Likewise, I loved that flex with the forklift, saved yourself the effort of leaning over to roll that cylinder onto the forks! For that matter I've been to many shops that don't invest in their workforce, not many, if any (in some shops) workers has the forklift license, as a result entire shop floors grind to a half waiting for the forklift guy!
Curtis, you make me wish I started my career with mechanical drafting and machining instead of doing military service. I’m a retired instructor and student of architecture but my love is machining.
Hold the phone! I had to stop the video after seeing that material handling job on the reunion removal. Didn’t know material handling could have that level of craftsmanship. Damn fine job! Moving from west Texas to central Oklahoma some 25 years ago I heard a term spoken often and haven’t seen very many moves made that fit the term. Now I have! This one wins the internet today for me! “That was neater than a skeeter’s peter!” Now I’ll go back to watching the rest of the work. I won’t be forgetting that one!
It's amazing to see how much hidden damage you can find when you know what to look for. Field engineers need to look closer to prevent serious danger. Nice rebuild Kurtis.
I have always wanted to play with these machines. But being a carpenter for 40 years and then working high speed data systems for the phone company kept me real busy and I never did seem to get the chance.. So thanks you guys.. this gives me a vicarious way to do it..
Having a reman stock of finished product puts you into a good position with your customers. Always enjoy the quality of your work, nothing like watching a craftsman at his trade. Thanks very much for sharing.
Another great video from the CEEA. You have to be a professional to machine this kind of cylinder because without knowledge there is always the danger of seeing the part fly over you, but with you and your experience you will know what to do and what not to do. Can't wait for the Kurtis suite.
How does it feel to be working in paradise? The gear and capability you have there is an absolute dream. Ofcourse, I don't have the skills but as you say, practise makes perfect (and a lot of scrap).
Hi, guys! Can't wait for part two. I love your videos. Keep going! P.S. The safety officer is so sad. Buy him a new toy. And I also a little bit jealous you're having a spring time in Australia.

It's very pleasant to see sandblasting at work, I really like watching restoration videos and sandblasting is a "therapy", lol. Next time, don't cut this part, please! A big hug from your fan here in Brazil.
Thanks guys. Your videos are the best part of my Friday morning.
Seen you do a lot of cool stuff but I love the fork in the barrel lifting trick. Nice driving.
Man when I watch you do your thing I’m in amazement, you got a gift for machining. Love the out takes, so funny FU train 😂
Educational and entertaining as usual....Thanks for letting us in the shop!
Impressive detective work involved in diagnosing exactly what caused the failure
Picking up the barrel with the forklift like that was pretty damn impressive.
I like how you use caution when the cylinder started to produce harmonics while on the lathe. Great idea to slow it down and proceed cautiously.😊
Always informative and entertaining you two. Outstanding video editing Karen. CEE is the best start for Fridays. A small crochet hook works great for pulling out swarf in tapped holes.
. Never realized how much engineering , machining, welding , time & work are involved in cylinders, & all amazing things you repair. thanks for sharing all your knowledge with the world!!!😎
You are such a wealth of knowledge. Really enjoying to watch.
My kind of lesson. Plan to reclaim anything worthwhile, pinpoint damages and causes, superb work, video work on par, Homeless seemed a little confused or looking for yet another toy, all under the bird's eye lookout. Thank you for sharing and teaching, looking forward to part-2. Take care.
How close you get to gigantic moving/spinning parts with your tooling gives me the heebie jeebies.
I know it's fine, your work holding isn't gonna move. But for some reason the danger light goes off in my brain.
Great video as always.
Definitely don't want to get complacent and i'm always respecting what this sort of machinery can do, it won't give you a 2nd chance that's for sure.
would it be swarf or would it just be a smear ..I have a little lathe and my fingers stay back .. heard stories about hoodie strings and machines ..
I know you have a hate/ hate relationship ship with trains, the industry I worked in for 34 years. It’s the same ratio there, you get one opportunity for safety, choose wisely!
I like how you go about disassembling these cylinders for reclaim, in such a way that if one method fails, you didn't bet too much on option A, for option B, or C, or the very time consuming D (angle grinder) to work.
Many times have I been at shops where workers, regardless what's being reclaimed, repaired, or made, put everything on one throw of the dice, and not to their benefit.
Likewise, I loved that flex with the forklift, saved yourself the effort of leaning over to roll that cylinder onto the forks!
For that matter I've been to many shops that don't invest in their workforce, not many, if any (in some shops) workers has the forklift license, as a result entire shop floors grind to a half waiting for the forklift guy!
Curtis, you make me wish I started my career with mechanical drafting and machining instead of doing military service. I’m a retired instructor and student of architecture but my love is machining.
Hold the phone! I had to stop the video after seeing that material handling job on the reunion removal.
Didn’t know material handling could have that level of craftsmanship. Damn fine job!
Moving from west Texas to central Oklahoma some 25 years ago I heard a term spoken often and haven’t seen very many moves made that fit the term. Now I have! This one wins the internet today for me!
“That was neater than a skeeter’s peter!”
Now I’ll go back to watching the rest of the work.
I won’t be forgetting that one!
It's amazing to see how much hidden damage you can find when you know what to look for. Field engineers need to look closer to prevent serious danger. Nice rebuild Kurtis.
Explain what they need to look for?
This is one of the few channels that I go-ahead and prelike the videos before I watch them cause I already know I'm going to. 🤘
Wow, thank you!
Absolutely love your channel. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride
satisfactory hydraulic repair
Great work guys! Can’t wait to see the new machine in action!
Love the outtakes, makes you realise how hard it is to do a piece to camera. Good fun
Job well done mate. Passion, Knowledge and determination. That what makes you a good engineer. I admire your work ethics.
I have always wanted to play with these machines. But being a carpenter for 40 years and then working high speed data systems for the phone company kept me real busy and I never did seem to get the chance.. So thanks you guys.. this gives me a vicarious way to do it..
It always find it amazing how these inserts handle the hard welds without breaking. Any way brilliant job on the dozer ram👍🇬🇷
I think the most impressive of Cutis’ skills is the way he handles the forklift.
Another educational video. I love watching you work. And the bloopers are hysterical 😂😂
Enjoy all your video's Kurtis. Never seen a lift cylinder this big rebuilt. Looking forward to seeing the new Sunnen Hone in action !!
One of the few channels in RUclips where every video is good. Well done guys 👍
Thanks so much!
Great video. Brilliant customer service with an immediate fix. Idle machinery costs money. Cheers Billo
Having a reman stock of finished product puts you into a good position with your customers. Always enjoy the quality of your work, nothing like watching a craftsman at his trade. Thanks very much for sharing.
Спасибо. Прекрасное видео. Работа оператора как всегда на высоте.
Plant knowledge is unbeatable,, have you ever had a customer say you've knackered a part.. Top vids..
Precision machine work and awesome video editing, you both make and Awesome team !
Kudos from Western Pennsylvania 🙂🇺🇸
great customer service having a part to swap and keep them working as always great video
Another great video from the CEEA. You have to be a professional to machine this kind of cylinder because without knowledge there is always the danger of seeing the part fly over you, but with you and your experience you will know what to do and what not to do. Can't wait for the Kurtis suite.
“Karl’s” out takes at the end are always comedy gold. Keep up the good work Curtis.
Brilliant stuff as usual. Love you guys 💗
P.S. Can't wait to see the new Sunnen machine in action!!!
How does it feel to be working in paradise?
The gear and capability you have there is an absolute dream. Ofcourse, I don't have the skills but as you say, practise makes perfect (and a lot of scrap).
Living the dream mate, it's pretty bloody good!
Very amazing how long these parts could last over time. 25+ years is a long time for that kind of wear and tear.
Friday arvo . Can of xxxx sit down & watch some great work . keeping this nation going. Thanks Karen,Kurtis & Homie.
Hi, guys! Can't wait for part two. I love your videos. Keep going!
P.S. The safety officer is so sad. Buy him a new toy. And I also a little bit jealous you're having a spring time in Australia.
I like how he's actually smart af and knows what the part is.
So many blokes don't even know what it's used for but try and weld it.
G'day Kurtis, Karen and Homey great video and interesting job can't wait to see the part two.
Thanks for always watching!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I am a huge fan of your work and Karen's editing.
